Car Lockout
Getting locked out of your car surely is a stressful endeavor, and you might resort to finding ways in order to regain access to your car as soon as possible. When done by an amateur, however, there is a risk that you might do more harm than good, and it’s important to stay calm in these situations. Professional locksmiths have a vast array of state-of-the-art tools in their toolboxes in order to help people regain access to their deadlocked cars.
SLIM JIM
Out of all the methods of opening deadlocked cars, though, the Slim Jim is perhaps the most commonly thought of tool, but it is only effective on cars with upright style locks. This method varies depending on the model of your vehicle, but the general idea is that the Slim Jim is slipped between your car’s weather-strip and moved until the upright lock is moved. The one doing the unlocking will then hook the lock and slide it up to unlock the car. In the hands of the wrong people, though, the Slim Jim method could bring your car into a much worse predicament than before, as this part of the door includes a multitude of wires and electronic mechanisms that are very susceptible to being disrupted.
CAR OPENING TOOLS
Another common method is to use wedges during car lockouts. These tools have a wide variety of sizes and shapes in order to accomplish success with different makes and models of vehicles, no matter the brand. However, some wedges from this spectrum might seem to be more refined and reliable, as they have an impressive and proven track record and will not harm your vehicle. How do wedges work, though? They serve as a tool to create an opening in the door so that another tool can be utilized to unlock the door from the interior of the car. Once the wedge is in its proper position, a Lasso Tool is commonly used for upright door locks. The lasso grasps the lock so that the lock can be pulled upwards to unlock the car door. For cars that do not have upright locks, a rod can be used for push or slide buttons.
Some tools act similarly to the Slim Jim, in terms of wedge free entries. Japanese tools, which are aptly named due to its predominant use in Japanese manufactured cars, are dropped down between the weather strip and the windowpane of your car and come up on the other side of the glass in order to effectively manipulate thumb style locks. Auto Busters also enter the car just like the Japanese tool, but are more effective on sidelocks.
